Wondering about authenticity of a JC charm that came with a bracelet I recently purchased. (Note the charm did not come in a box, I used another charm's box for photo purposes). It looks a little worn from use and a bit tarnished (?) in one spot. Can/do authentic JC charms tarnish?
Juicy Couture charms are gold plated, but they do tarnish, depending on the environment. Some collectors keep them in their boxes, partly for this very reason.
So was this key originally sold with the bracelet? I know from experience that some bracelets and necklaces did come with a key charm. Some are removable with the regular clasp and some are mounted permanently on the piece.
I've never seen this key IRL, but it looks authentic to me.
I saw one just recently in this completed auction from a reliable ebay seller, see below.
